  A variable plant, which is a cross between Helleborus niger and Helleborus sternii. For a long period from January, it produces pink bud s with creamy-white to pink flowers that are often flushed with green, and age to pink. The deep green foliage often takes on pink tones and may also have silvery veining, which creates added interest. It is an easy to grow perennial, that makes an ideal ground cover plant in full sun or light dappled shade.
  
  
• Garden care: Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring. Remove all the older foliage in autumn
